Britton fled the scene in her vehicle.

Police attempted to pull him over, but he sped away. During the chase a police cruiser was damaged.

Stop sticks were deployed causing the Britton to crash, that’s when he ran away on foot.

A warrant was issued for assault with a dangerous weapon, motor vehicle theft, and fleeing and eluding police.
